- 2. Uses of the Radio Spectrum
- 3. U.S. Wireless Spectrum Overview • The FCC regulates the use of radio frequencies within the U.S., assigning usage rights and conditions to various bands across geographic sub-areas. ITU & WRC regulate internationally. Radio frequency physics favor lower frequencies for greater signal carrying distance as well as structure & foliage penetration. • Most non-governmental frequencies are licensed, often via auctions to commercial entities and reserved exclusively for their use. Cellular (& unlicensed Wi-Fi) dominate mobile connectivity. Microwave & millimeter wave are commonly used for broadcast, backhaul & PtP. FCC considering additional licensed bands for commercial/public purposes by reallocating spectrum and at times relocating existing uses. • A limited amount of unlicensed spectrum is currently available, however more is being considered or processed for release. 902-928 MHz has been used for consumer and commercial devices since 1993. The explosion of Wi-Fi is the result of developments in 2.4 & 5 GHz unlicensed bands. Mobile uses and the emergence of IoT is driving demand for more unlicensed bandwidth & bringing new delivery protocols. CBRS at 3550-3700 MHz is of special interest as a new shared unlicensed option. The FCC is considering enabling flexible use of the 3.7-4.2 GHz Band. White spaces wireless will share unlicensed, reallocated 500-700 MHz TV bands reaching to 10 km NLOS now & up to 100 km in the future, outstanding for WRAN. 10 KHz 1 MHz 100 MHz 10 GHz 1THzDC 100 Hz

Low earth orbit (LEO) satellites are closest to users (300-1200 miles) but require 40-70 satellites for full coverage. Low latency (10 ms). Geosynchronous (GSO) satellite orbit (22,236 miles) rotates at the same speed as the Earth’s rotation. Three satellites can provide global coverage. 300 ms latency, which can support most applications. • Geostationary Equatorial Orbit (GEO) is a special case of GSO in which satellites circle the Earth above the Equator and appear to be stationary over a fixed position.
